Delighted to receive this note from a student earlier today.
It's great to be in a role where you can support so many students. Particularly this group of students who are working full time whilst studying and supporting some of our most vulnerable learners. 👏

I visited another ELC setting at the end of term 3 - it was great to see how they have developed their outdoor provision. Important skills being developed here, for all learners. #ELC #outdoorlearning #play
